Heliantheini is one of the twotribes that make up thesubfamilyLesbiinae of the hummingbirdfamilyTrochilidae. The other tribe in the subfamily isLesbiini.

The informal name "brilliants" has been proposed for this group as it includes the genusHeliodoxa that has nine species with "brilliant" in their common name.[1]
Phylogeny
editAmolecular phylogenetic study of the hummingbirds published in 2007 found that the family was composed of nine majorclades.[4] WhenEdward Dickinson andJames Van Remsen, Jr. updated theHoward and Moore Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World for the 4th edition in 2013 they divided the hummingbirds into sixsubfamilies and proposed using the name Heliantheini for one of the twotribes in the subfamilyLesbiinae. The tribe Heliantheini had been introduced (as a subfamily Heliantheinae) by the German naturalistLudwig Reichenbach in 1854.[5][6]
Cladogram
editMolecular phylogenetic studies by Jimmy McGuire and collaborators published between 2007 and 2014 determined the relationships between the major groups of hummingbirds.[2][4][7] In thecladogram below the English names are those introduced in 1997.[8] The Latin names are those proposed by Dickinson and Remsen in 2013.[9]

The phylogeny of the Heliantheini based on amolecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 is shown below.Loddigesia (marvelous spatuletail) was found to be embedded withinEriocnemis.[2]
